>>Do you have a recommendation for a font that works best for OCRing<<
Jakie,
I would stay with the Times New Roman. Generally, the systems we use
recommend using serif'd fonts when OCR/ICR will be applied. Our testing
appears to confirm the recommendations.
I would note that your particular software may function better with specific
fonts. I would contact the vendor and ask for their suggestions. Software
also commonly includes options to specify the type of font, whether it is a
small font, whether the font being OCR'd is fixed or proportional, and a
variety of other optional settings. Use of the various options can
significantly increase recognition success.
